Education Week – Once again, due to COVID restrictions our school community events have been hamstrung. We will do our best to provide families with glimpses of what their child’s life is like in classrooms, predominately through ClassDojo. The Broken Hill Athletics Carnival is able to go ahead, albeit with COVID safe plans.
Unfortunately, with the ongoing COVID issue in Greater Sydney (including the Blue Mountains, Central Coast, Wollongong, Shellharbour, Fairfield, Liverpool, Canterbury-Bankstown, Cumberland, Blacktown, Orange, Cabonne and Blayney), we remain on Level 2 guidelines.
The current guidelines are:
Students are learning at school and not required to wear face masks. Face masks are recommended in all indoor settings for staff. We will do our best to work with this in a classroom situation. Non-essential visitors are not permitted in schools. Parents and carers must follow this direction regarding changes to drop off and pick up including minimal time at boundary of school. Parents should: - maintain physical distancing by avoiding gathering outside of school gates,
- remain outside of school grounds, and
- follow mask-wearing requirements and sign-in using the Service NSW QR code if there is a need to enter the school.
Assemblies can be held with COVID-Safe practices. No visitors/parents permitted.
Thank you again for your support in complying with these guidelines.
Mr C on leave – A family situation has arisen that I need to support and attend to this week. Coupled with that, I had major knee surgery booked in for Monday 26 July in Adelaide but due to lockdown this has had to rescheduled. As a result, I will be on leave for an extended period. Mrs McEvoy will be relieving for me and the executive have shared a range of responsibilities to spread the load. I have great faith in them and all of our staff to put kids first and flourish through unity.
Kindergarten 2022
Thank you so much to those families who have sorted this out already. It is important that enrolment for our 2022 Kindergarten students gets sorted sooner than later so we can prepare our transition plans for next term. Let’s not leave this to the last minute. If you have siblings already at school this should be the easiest thing you do this week. Come in and grab the forms and get the ball rolling. Should you need assistance with the paperwork we’re more than willing to help out.
